GLC 220d 4M early owner here with 2 young children, nearing 200k km and 6.5 years with absolutely zero issues. GLC is an excellent car ! Tips: Stay away from any piano black surface during configuration, I wanted the brushed aluminum that was unfortunately combined with piano black center console and after a couple of months it looks like a mesh with fingertips and small scratches, there are professionals that can make it like new but want >100 euros to wax it... Also please note that opting for a bigger fuel tank eats up the trunk below the raise trunk separator by equal volume. Excellent car overall with outstanding resale value!
Thanks for the tip!
Don't they all come with that piano black in the middle though?
ugh, wish they gave you the option to remove the glossy plastic in the middle, that wood on the dash is so beautiful, it would have been perfect for it to continue in the glossy part
Given how popular these models are, there will likely be aftermarket wraps and vinyl. I do agree though gloss plastic is terrible in almost any interior.
@@khoaphan8490 yeah you right, hopefully high quality vinyls will appear on the market, its just silly how mercedes offers you the option of nice wood center console if you get the hyperscreen on the eqs, but then you deal with a whole dash thats just screen
@@Darx97 I have the 2020 GLC and the “waterfall” open-pore wood is one of the best features of it! Feels extremely premium.
in my opinion, the old model looked nicer both outside and inside.
@@jatterhog oh yeah. Always liked that design they did with yours and the c class
I like the rear🔥
Fantastic content as always. Keep it up Thomas🔥
10:22 Head-up display even shows your wanted level, what a neat detail!
Great review! On the Gray graphite one, the wheels are 19 or 20 inches?
Thank you!
16:15 "So yeah, Mercedes really knows their shhh..aaaa stuff when it comes to ambient lighting", they sure do Thomas, they indeed do... 😂 😂 😂
haha =)
Autogeful , I to grow up in the 90s with those multi smoke BBS forged wheels. I remember them well, thanks for reminiscing, those were good times!!!!🙂
As usual great review T! Gotta go with the prev gen styling esp the front end. I'm sure they will continue to sell well.
👏👏
3 videos in 24hrs! Well Done, Thomas.
P.S. I know these are shot on different days, thanks.
👏👏👏
Brilliant review thank you very much. I've got such a good understanding of the new model line up from your video! I do have to say, initial impressions prefer the Avantgarde design - looks more sophisticated to my eyes
Highly appreciated! Please share 😎
I'm surprised by the amount of chrome on the door handles, that looks cool :) Overall, the new GLC looks absolutely great and has that relaxing feel in the Avantgarde specs, it also looks bigger than it is really for me, more like a 4,8/4,9-meter-long car.
Thank you for the review, Thomas, what nice plugin hybrid model! 🔌⚡🚘
🙏🙏
Absolutely stunning 😍 it's very nice I love it
Excellent preview Thomas! Thanks. I really like this GLC. Speaking about Mercedes: they actually make the only PHEV I’d buy, as they promise long EV range and a clever software to manage the energy.
thanks m8 !
Thomas, you're always first! Excellent and informative as always.
Thanks please share 😊
I would like the front passenger seat to fold down as well so longer items can be carried. I have this in my B250 and it is very useful.
Another great video! When is the Coupe coming btw? I always things they are quite beautiful, my favorite in the line for sure
Thanks! We ll keep u updated on that
Hi Thomas, excellent review as always. Will it be a EQC version later?
Hey 👋 rather be an EQE platform sharing for the next EV SUV
This Glc looks amazing. Looking forward to see the amg version.
When you will drive c43 2023 model ?? Or exhaust sound atleast please
Great review!!!
🙏🙏
"mercedes benz really know there shhhhhh ahhh... stuff" that killed me ....🤣
😎😂
thx for introducing this beautiful GLC SUV! May I ask the weight of this car
I don’t know why somehow this new generation exterior has a greater stance from the older one. Good job MB!
Excellent review in a second language - I have had a 350D AMG line for 4 years and love it - some say it was bland but for me it is just classy - but was contemplating a different make to replace it - now I am not too sure. Shame there is no 3 litre model at them moment
Will the GLC PHEV be available in the US? The C-class sedan PHEV is not.
mercedes makes everything so complicated, the infotainment, the touch screen lay out, the navigation, the controls on the steering wheel.
it looks so busy
Thanks so much for a great video, do you know if the GLC 300 e 4MATIC AMG Line Plus comes with Parktronic as standard?
Graphite grey all the way 😁
That may depend on county

As always Autogefühl is first to give us the review😊
In ur service!
Are there reclining seats at the back?
You are on fire today !! :)
💪💪
Any body know if the Thermotronic airco for the back passenger and rear-axle steering is available in any trims here in USA
How many liters goes into cargo space in the PHEV ?
RWD for the US market? Hope that in Canada they stay with the 4Matic. So practical here!!
I’m also on team “Chrome”,but only with a Thomas-Blue exterior colour! ;)
Great review Thomas!
I prefer the previous generation, it had buttons and looked better imo. But maybe it looks better in real life, as it often does.
Thanks m8!
You know if the avantgarde grille was similar to the s class grille, this suv as well as the c class would be perfect 👌🏾
I’m “Team Chrome” too. Love my 2019 C300 that has the chrome window beltline. Keep up the great reviews!
thanks Brian !
My fav merc. Love this car.
Anybody knows when right hand side steer model will be in the market..
So well done Mercedes 👏. Thats a really pretty car..
Can’t wait for the car to be available. I been hesitant on the 2022 model and now that I seen 2023, it is definitely a winner. Thank for the comprehensive review
I wish I waited , got the 2022 in March :(
@@motsol3163 maybe u can trade it with little difference. The car still not at the dealers. I was this close to get 2022 😅
Lol ya its coming next year I know but the interior is extremely beautiful same as the new c class
Hi Thomas! What's the battery capacity for the Plug-in-Hybrid, or the expected range?Thank You Very Much! Vielen Dank!
Hey, like cclass, little less than 100 km if u drive it very efficiently
How much do the 2023 versions cost ? Thnx.
Nice improvement, particularly the rear which was really "unfortunate ".still missing something..definitely my next Mercedes if I can't get the GLE😨😨😨
I want to see the coupe version now.
Hey mate, I am also a chrome fan 😉. I am interested in 300 e Amg premium plus, do you think it will have chromes or blacked metal effect outside?
Hey! Did u follow my chrome vs black explanation? It should say :)
@@autogefuehl I saw it again, it looks like we will have night package as optional on Amg line 😀
So chromes all around in Amg line 🙏
Thanks mate!
How reliable are the GLCs? I am torn between that and Audi Q5.
For the first time, I actually like the Avantgarde design! I like how it doesnt look cheaper than the AMG-Line.
And also, the door handles look to be placed way too low..
잘 보고 갑니다. 수고하세요~
Is this all new model . Or a mid cycle face lift ?
Damn it looks nice 😀
Definitely Team Chrome and Team BBS!!
😎
Does the PHEV gets the Rear-axle only Air suspension like the C-Class PHEV?
Yes
Super ！ Sind Sie in Stuttgart? It might be my first time to be so close to you and the brand new Mercedes. ;) Viele Größe !
Vielen Dank =)
Does rear seat recline little
my dream car
Idk if i like that ipad looking screen that well, but looks cool overall. I would’ve liked a bit more manual knobs and buttons aside from one big ipad screen hahaha
Can you option a 35.30.35 rear seat split, rather than 40.20.40, not done enough
Really has the exterior changed much from the previous gen GLC which was so bland. I do love MB's new interior layout. Very modern.
Busy day today… jumped from BMW media room to Mercedes space, with the same haircut!
Thomas my dude you never disappoint! Is it just me or does this look more aggressive? I haven’t been a fan of Mercedes’ rounded design lately, but this looks much better than the EQ range
👏
Surprisingly good looking, much better than the predecessor imo.
Why does the AMG-line have Eco tires and the base version has sporty tires?
Capacitive Touch on the steering wheel could actually be a deal-breaker for me.
Have adaptive suspension in this model?
didnt I say?
Driving review: czcams.com/video/MMVLV_iEljU/video.html
Team chrome every day! Team real exhaust pipes as well!!!
best suv in it's class imo
Evidently I fall into the "old" category since I prefer the standard chromed trim of the Avantgarde model. I just wished I could get the full fender paint treatment with paying that extortion price/cost of that 1 particular option/item. I mean, $3K just to get the fully painted fenders? Yeah, just extortion via MB's business model.
So mad I got a 2022 GLC coupe in white and brown seats amg package in March. Smh can I trade up?
Smells good
Can't wait for the 6 cylinder diesel!!
Yay MB
My only concern with new generation mercs are the longevity and the reliability of all the batteries and electrics in these cars.
Mercedes optioning does confuse me slightly although I am generally a fan, GLC, EQE, GLB etc can get ventilated seats with Artico leatherette, but expensive models like EQS, S-Class, etc cannot get ventilated seats with Artico, you need to get full leather. What's up with that?
Yes indeed your point is accurate. Mercedes is missing something there, claiming their new EVs are super sustainable and then putting them full of animal skin especially in high trims
@@autogefuehl hi Thomas, good job as always. One Question. When ordering a new GLC we opted for nappa leather...sorry for that :) and we wanted ventilated seats. They told us it cannot be done, just with Artico. How then you had Vienna brown seats (the animal ones) on test with ventilation shown on this video. Also some configurators (Croatian, Italian) show ventilation on their configurators, but later at the dealership tell you it cannot be added, but just with Leatherette seats (Artico), which are not pretty as the diamond style ones, also doesn't have diamont style pattern in the doors?
Thank you.
Team Chrome! 😁👍
Thomas my man. Your review are always spot on and informative. What kills me the most is your fake exhaust whistle🔥🔥😂😂
haha =) thanks and feel free to share m8 !
How can we see the coupe version?
Subscribe 😎
NICE CAR
Rất đẹp...không biết bao giờ sẽ xuất hiện tại Việt Nam...mong về sớm, trước khi quyết định xe Camry.
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!
Great review as always. I love the design but when I test drove the C300 recently in the US, it wasn't as great as I hoped it would be. The brake is non linear and doesn't engage until the midrange of travel. The 4 cylinder engine has plenty of power but it doesn't suit luxury cars with the noise and rev profile, the 6 cylinder is much smoother. The materials and build felt economy. Comparing the fully optioned C300 at $64k against the 3.5T GV70 at $64k, the Genesis felt like a $100k vehicle. We went with the Genesis.
thanks keep tuning in !
Yeah I agree, mercedes looks great, feels like economy. There are basically no great materials left.
Beautiful car, but I can’t stand the new screens for the infotainment system and driver side screen
If you don't put the mirror in this plastic triangle near A pillar, why do you need then this plastic? It this because of some loudspeaker? Anyway, it would be better to have whole window glass extended.
So how much is it?
good review Thomas, team Chrome all day long, the high gloss black trim will scratch badly and be a nightmare to keep polishing!!
🙌
I am wondering where the extra 6cm in length actually went exactly ? 🤔
In the front you have less head and legroom than before for some reason and the space in the rear has remained basically the same.
You only gained 2 mm for the knees and a bit of width there.
If the trunk space got 3 cm longer, what happened to the other 3 cm if it didn't make it into the cabin ?
Maybe engine bay
Eksterior look muscular ,, good design
Hi Thomas, when you said the screen was so hot you might actually burn your finger, is it a design flaw that we as consumers be concerned about or just a manufacturing defect for this specific unit? Please respond.
As always brilliant review. Thoroughly enjoyed it ❤️
Thanks 🙏
I think that naturally happens when the screen in the car in the hot summer is placed in this angle
@@autogefuehl gotcha. Thanks for the information. Appreciate it!
Great video as always. Which one did you like more Thomas? The new GLC or the new X1? Both look really good imo, but I think the Merc has a superior interior design. Well... apart from from that huge transmission tunnel. The BMW barely has one, which might compensate a bit for the smaller size.
thanks !! GLC direct competitor is X3, however overall the X1 seemed like the more practical/useful vehicle indeed, especially as for price/performance
They are clean
I saw a new C Class yesterday (it just came out in my market) and the plastic looks bad already in the showroom model
Great
Mercedes is really leading the way for plug-in hybrid technology. Sure the current Volvos have a 18,8 kWh battery pack but only a 3,7kWh onboard charger meaning its nearly useless to charge i.e. during grocery shopping. The new Mercs standard 11kWh makes it a viable option for those that mainly use public charge points. Hopefully BMW catches up soon since I'm too young to be driving a Merc 😆
@@josephwireko-adumatta4722 Yes you could say that, in general the demograpichs and traditional brand values support that comment
Funny that, when we were looking for a car, the GLC was 1st on the list, but I wasn't sure when this new version will arrive in Australia, so I put it on hold. Then the Tiguan R came so I bit the bullet and ordered one. Now I am having second thought after seeing this review and seen what the inside looks like and it's beautiful. I showed this to my wife and she said I can have it when I turn 60. 😄
Beautiful just Im gonna say اللهم أرزقنا ياااا☝️ااارب
team chrome looks best on dark colour cars (black, Thomas blue and dark grey) and team black on lighter colours (white, silver, Mojave silver)
What I love about Mercedes is that real hide nappa leather is still available for choice to the customers unlike for example Volvo who have taken it away completely. Give the customer a choice!
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: czcams.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/video.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: czcams.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/video.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: czcams.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/video.html
Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
@@autogefuehl Thank you for your reply and insight but I will of course continue to eat prime beef during my meals and choose nappa leather for my car seats.
Try to bring compassion in your life and think about the victim's point of view. Maybe it can make future decisions more animal friendly
🚨AFAP🚨! Always on the Job.
yessss 👮
To be honest this was going to be hard to Mercedes. I think the "old" GLC was so good, replace it would be hard, but i think Mercedes nailed it.
Things should be outlawed in every car:
1-Gloss interiors.
2-Touch buttons.
3-Black interiors.
👏
